5 Comebacks Of 90s Trends

The re-emergence of ’90s fashion has resulted in a truly mixed bag of emotions. While the ’90s can be credited with providing us with now-favorable slip dresses and kitten heels, there’s also a raft of trends we’d like to keep in the past. Just when you think all of the possible forgotten looks from the 1990s have remained hidden, along comes another one. Keep scrolling for our guide to the ’90s fashion items, trends, and combinations we wore to death and then forgot about until now. 

ANIMAL PRINT DRESS

The animal print was literally preferred everywhere, from hats to coats and especially dresses. Though not everyone remembers fashion trends from the ’90s in a positive manner, the leopard and animal-print look is one that has aged very well. But over time, as most trends do, the craze seemed to gradually slow down. That was, until both fashion month street style and Instagram proved that the animal print dresses are trending again, for 2021.

VELVET DRESS

Velvet was the fabric of the ’90s. Crushed velvet spaghetti strap dresses were a staple back then, and even now, they would look ravishing and flattering. As expected, in 2021, the fabric is making a big comeback for the party season, with affordable and high-end brands alike creating dramatic midis and wrap dresses in velvet. Designers like Valentino and Chanel brought velvet for winters with long-sleeve, ankle-grazing dresses, and off-shoulder shifts.

CORSETS

If your top wasn’t a corset in the ’90s then you were living in a bubble, setting aside grunge and athleisure for a moment. It has always been inspiring to see the Marie Antoinette era with corsets and it is making a comeback, which makes the year so exciting. From barely-there “naked dresses” and corset tops to fresh ideas for styling denim and the bold colors there will be swapping in for neutrals, there’s no shortage of fashion inspiration.

TINY HANDBAGS

In the 1990s, tiny bags were a symbol of the elite, who were able to indulge in carrying such a small accessory because they had staff to hold the rest of their stuff. Now, they’re a symbol of our new approach to life and our collective penchant for accessories that will rack up the most Instagram likes. Whether you love or hate it, there’s no avoiding the designer mini bag. We are truly in an era where the smaller the bag, the bigger the statement.

BUCKET HATS

While this trend might have started with the grunge music scene, the likes of the girl groups were seen promoting this look too in the 1990s. 2021 is officially the year of over-accessorizing. The bucket hat trend lives on. Only now, it’s getting even more playful. If you’ve already got a classic black bucket, play with decals and prints. Whatever makes your bucket stand out will put you ahead of everyone else.

The ‘90s had a lot of fashion styles that would just blow our minds away if they decided to make a comeback. It was one of the most beautiful eras of fashion where everything was fantastic and out of the box. So let’s bring back the ‘90s together. Let’s style our style like a ‘90s diva and make a statement. Let’s be the trend of 2021.
